COURT REVISESTAW
Two Years College Work
Required to Enter
Legal Activity.
No person desiring to become
an attorney can enter a law
school or begin (studying for ad
mission in a law office unless, in
addition to a high school educa
tion he has had at least two years
work in college. This rule, amend
atory of existing regulations, was
adopted by the supreme court Sat
urday. The court also adopted a rule
which defines a reputatble law
school as one which is on the list
of the Standardization Agency of
the American Bar association.
The present regulations provide
for accrediting students from any
reputable law school, but the dif
ficulty arose in the definition of
the term reputable.
Law schools that are not listed
with the agency at the present
time will have until July 1, 1940 to
do so, the court decided. Only one
institution in the state, a night
school in Omaha, is affected by
this ruling and will have to clear
out the students now enrolled and
secure the required listing.
Among other amendments made
was one changing 'may to 'shall"
In the rule relating to holding an
nual examinations by the state
bar commission.

TOTAL OF $111
900 Aid Own Finances by
Work on Useful School
Projects.
More than 900 NYA student
workers at the University of Ne
braska earned approximately $111,-
900 during the 193G-37 school year,
according to report from head
quarters of the Nebraska division.
Tn this wnnrt is seen the contin-
tinnrA nf the educational careers of
several hundreds of students who
otherwise would have been com
pelled to drop out because of fi
nancial nirtnilment.
Approximately half of the money
expended in tne rsanonai iuuui
Administration student aid pro
gram in Nebraska was expended
within the university, ine re
mainder went to similar programs
in other Nebraska colleges. All 23
colleges paticipated in giving this
type of employment to students, a
total of 2,350 students availing
themselves of the opportunity of
part time jobs and earning a total
of approximately $278,000 during
the year.
Work Varied.
Work performed by these stu
dents has varied from clerical
tasks to construction of facilities
and equipment to be used in educa
tional and recreational activities on
the campus. The construction of
facilities and equipment has in
cluded the making of laboratory
apparatus, which has been of es
pecial value to all students of the
school.
Other phases of the work have
included activities designed to aid
local social agencies and educa
tional institutions in the further
ance of their programs. Work in
extension departments has made
college facilities available to many
not in regular attendance.
The large number of students
engaged in this work and the im
portance of the work in making
college educations possible for
those who would otheiwise be un
able to attend has made this
branch one of the most effective
educational programs and one of
the most valuable types of student
employment.

Saturday Only for
First School Week
Classes will meet regularly
en Saturday for the first week
of school, according to an an
nouncement made by Prof. R.
D. Moritz, director of the sum
